BOBBITT FAMILY CEMETERY, San Augustine County, Texas, was photographed and recorded on April 3, 2010, (Updated 4/5/2018)  by Bob Britnell (misterbob@suddenlink.net) and sister, Sandra Britnell. As is our custom, we photographed each individual headstone, and will provide pictures to anyone who wants them. This cemetery includes a memorial marker to members of the Hobdy family, buried near the old home place on their nearby plantation, whose burial site cannot be located.
DIRECTIONS:  from San Augustine, go south on US96 to SR103; turn right and go a couple of miles to FM1751 and turn left.  Go about 6.5 miles to the white sign on the left at the cemetery.
Transcriptions are recorded exactly as they appear on the individual headstones; comments in parentheses were added by this researcher.  (fhm) denotes a small funeral home marker. The number in parentheses following each name is the photograph reference number.
The first 5 names are engraved on small brass plates mounted on a concrete block, and were intended to be placed at the burial place on the Hobdy plantation; when the burial ground couldn't be located, these plates were installed inside the fence at the Bobbitt Cemetery, and a memorial historical marker was installed nearby:

--Izettea (Lizetta) Cartwright HOBDY (12-14); b. Dec 10, 1799 (TN); died Dec 23, 1852.  Wife of Joses
